    You said we had the dearest ticket prices in the country not that we were one of the most expensive to watch.Food & drink is just as expensive at other grounds.

    If you're going to post something as a fact then at least check you are correct before posting <ok>

    Food and Drink IS NOT THE SAME AS EVERYBODY ELSE, THAT'S BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!! What stadiums have you been visiting where the food costs 11 pounds? I got the new chicken strips they serve, with chips, and a large coke, for 11 pounds. You talking **** THERE my friend.

    And yes, we pay one of the highest ticket prices in the land, end of story. With our bull **** prices, we're being given **** in return. If the board openly told everyone we just fight for a top 4 spot, I bet you most fans would say **** off then, we ain't paying that much money to just watch a team come 4th.

    Same for you, cause your talking bull **** when you say our food prices are the same as other grounds, I was shocked at how cheap the food costs at other stadiums compared to the Emirates.

    LOL.

    The reason we sell our players is because they want to leave, the club isn't the only one that has a say there. There are "bigger" clubs out there, where winning trophies is easier (in the case of RM/Barca almost guaranteed), and there always were. Some players will want to play for those clubs regardless of the situation Arsenal is in.

    Fighting for a top 4 spot is a stretch. We've made 3rd/4th pretty comfortably out of risk of ending up 5th for most of the 7 years without a trophy. Last year we were close to potentially missing out on CL because of Chelsea's win.


    You show absolutely zero knowledge on how the club is run, or its ownership. Why are you mentioning "making profits" as if it's a bad thing to accomplish? We have no sugar daddy that brings in personal funds from the outside, any more obvious information you want to bring in?

    You talk as if these "profits" go into the board's personal bank accounts. There's still interest payable that hasn't gone away, just because it's been a long time for you. The club have made a decision a few years back to make it more viable for Arsenal to remain a big club for the foreseeable future. And we've stuck around among the top teams in the country despite the leaner budgets.

    7 years without a trophy isn't even remotely one of the longer dry spells big clubs have had. And unlike the dry spells of those other clubs we've never fallen mid-table not even once.

    So you say the reason players go is because they want to, lol, you do know i had a whole segment of my argument specifically addressed to that? LOL, THAT'S PART OF MY ARGUMENT.

    We've made 3/4 comfortably, who cares? How many points of the championship did we finish last season, and the season before, and the season before, and the season before? Argument remains, best we can do, is fight for a top 4 spot, nothing more.

    Thanks for affirming all my points. WINNING.

    Because I don't go to any of the games, i've been lying, i live in finland, and my name is Andreas.

    I don't know, I forgot, I don't drink beer at the ground, I enter the ground, and go to the food stall that has the chicken and chips, the ****ers have even changed the chicken now, it's different than before, and the chips is different too, it used to be thick, now it's thin, and less. The chicken isn't even as good.

    That's 4 'facts' based on "empirical evidence" (lol) that you got partially/fully wrong. Which makes your "all I said are facts" claim even dumber than its spelling.

    The reason I mentioned RM and Barca is that even if we won say the FA cup last year and ended up 2nd in the league, those player's decision wouldn't be affected much. If a player wants to leave to Barca/RM or City for 3x the wages, they will ****ing leave, regardless of the club's situation.

    I paid 1,350 for my ST, which isn't even the most expensive one I believe, who has a higher ticket price? And why the hell should I know the prices of other teams, duhhhhh, I follow Arsenal.

    None of my empirical facts are wrong, you have yet to prove so. You say our players want to leave us, so that makes me wrong, WHEN I SAID WE CONSISTENTLY LOSE OUR BEST PLAYERS, THEREBY KEEPING US STUCK, so how am I wrong?

    As I said: WINNING
